Toulouse

"Toulouse" (pastel, 4 inch circle) $125 framed

I had four little round frames that I refinished in black and gold so I could paint some small circles. Most have been chicks, but I couldn't resist the light on this young duck. I named him Toulouse in homage to Lautrec's wonderful stage lighting on many of his paintings, like this famous one, "Al Promenoir del Moulin Rouge" from 1892.
